Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Did you have a regular Steam Deck before the OLED?
How are you liking it?
I did. I signed up and got one of the first. Gifted it to a friend after getting the OLED model.
The screen size difference is a big upgrade. I love that KDE is a button away. It seems to run cooler?
Issues: Holy hell was it a mess on release day. Wifi doesn’t work out of the box. I can’t believe it shipped like this. I spent hours debugging and finally figured out I had to disable the 160 mbs lanes on my router to get the wifi to work. What a disaster. Like I literally couldn’t even get through the setup screens because of this issue. It should be resolved via updates, but jesus christ get your wifi drivers fixed before shipping valve.
This version feels more like a portable PC with the KDE desktop being built in. Its just right there. I loved my first steam deck. I love this one more. My wife is annoyed I got her a switch instead of a steam deck. Probably gonna sell her switch.
